I really do thank you for the chanter info, looks like it will work. Yes, I used to make sgians dubh. However I have no computer skills to be able to send you any pictures. I don't even have a phone to be able to take pictures. I'll ask the young guy across the street if he can help.
I know what you mean about health problems, hope you are not too bad off. I don't have the energy to play my GHP due to my many health problems, the latest of which was bladder cancer. Oh well I'll be 84 next month and I refuse to give up.
Thanks again.
Stickman
